MSR Freelite 1 Ultralight Backpacking Tent

The MSR FreeLite 1 Ultralight Backpacking Tent is built for solo adventurers who refuse to compromise between weight and comfort. Designed as a premium ultralight 1-person backpacking tent, it delivers exceptional livability in a trail-ready package that weighs just 1 lb. 10 oz. (minimum trail weight)—making it a top choice for thru-hikers, fastpackers, and minimalist backcountry missions.

With its true rectangular floor and increased headroom, the FreeLite 1 maximizes interior space, allowing you to stretch out, organize gear, and sit up comfortably after long miles on the trail. The semi-freestanding design with a unified hub-and-pole system ensures fast, intuitive setup in a wide range of terrain, while durable DAC NFL aluminum poles provide strength without adding unnecessary weight.

Engineered for 3-season performance, this tent features a DuraShieldâ„¢ waterproof rainfly and bathtub floor, keeping you protected in unpredictable weather. The micromesh canopy enhances ventilation and reduces condensation, while a cutaway rainfly and vestibule strike the perfect balance between weight savings and gear storage.

Whether you’re chasing alpine objectives, tackling long-distance trails, or dialing in your ultralight kit, the MSR FreeLite 1 delivers elite packability, fast setup, and surprising comfort—so you can go farther, faster, and lighter.
